8 Wrestlers Being Buried By WWE's Scripted Promos

7. Seth Rollins

Remember when Seth Rollins was the organically built, jack of all trades indie star who everybody wanted to love? WWE sure has done a good job of drilling that part of your brain with a game of catchphrase lobotomy haven't they?

Seth's awful runs with the Nacho Cheese flavored Universal Championship were unremarkable, to be generous. Between the awful opponents and his cry baby social media antics, they have turned Seth into the epitome of the hated WWE babyface problem. And the root to all of this starts with his abysmal promo work.

Coming across as a twelve year old cutting a promo for a backyard wrestling company, Seth lacks any realistic understanding of what a human being talks like as he constantly utters his stupid catchphrase, random out of place and tired expressions, name drops shows, and just feels like an absolute dork.

The saddest proof of this, is that Rollins felt his strongest in recent memory when he was just shutting up and swinging a steel chair at everybody. The simplicity of him not uttering stupid one liners or trying to get you to buy t-shirts and sign up for WWE network finally felt like he was becoming a real character again. But then he slipped right back into the 'burn it down' chanting nothingness we all didn't want.

I'm not saying Seth Rollins can't be fixed. But he certainly can't be fixed with another one of the same scripted promos in his hands.

Speaking of hands...
